Swami – The Ocean
(A poem by Smt. Chhandaa Chandra on Shri Datta Swami)
O Swami! You are the ocean of compassion,
(compassion:- love)
And I am just a part of drop in that ocean.
Like river mixes with sea in the ocean,
I too want to mix into you with passion.
God, full of compassion, makes my mind pure,
This devotee of You gets complete, not attracted by any lure.
(lure:- worldly pleasure)
I want to walk along with You beside,
And to converse with You all aside.
(converse:- conversation)
O the fullest! You made my life fulfilled,
I am bound with You forever, all worldly wish killed.
I get You within me at each and every step,
If I slip to be with You, I wish my life snap.
(snap:- abrupt closing)
The binding between You and me, may be from many births,
But I feel I received You just now, full of mirth.
(mirth:- gladness accompanied with laughter)
